Advanced Performance Engineering
Using advanced flow-forming technology, Apex improves the barrels grain structure and mechanical properties to increase strength and rigidity while reducing unnecessary material. This manufacturing process allows the ARC-8 to remain lightweight without sacrificing the durability needed for aggressive driving conditions.
The wheel was extensively refined using Finite Element Analysis to reinforce high-stress areas while minimizing overall mass. The result is sharper steering feel, improved acceleration characteristics, and dependable durability under repeated performance driving use.
Its deep concave spoke profile delivers aggressive BMW styling while also maintaining compatibility with many popular aftermarket big brake kits. Large lug openings accommodate impact sockets and race lug hardware, making wheel changes fast and convenient during track events and race weekends.
